The less egg you use, the lower survival time for salmonella," said Alan Edmonson of the food research group. "People should use 20ml of lemon juice per egg yolk to avoid poisoning."<br><br>In 1997, Salmonella caused 44 deaths and about 50,000 cases of food poisoning in the UK.SproutACWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174727318885274919.post-57036993609670739342011-08-31T11:39:16.000-04:002011-08-31T11:39:16.000-04:00Glad to hear that mayo is pretty easy to make!

Increasing the amount of acid (whether that be lemon, vinegar, or something else) will decrease the survival rate of salmonella, but I wasn't able to find a consistent amount needed.CJ Huanghttp://morselsoflife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4174727318885274919.post-70497986528535347282014-01-13T12:04:58.000-05:002014-01-13T12:04:58.000-05:00Thanks!
